I quite like Dragon’s Den, but don’t watch every episode. No chewing gum, gum would be good, can’t abide the stuff. Ruins pavements and costs councils a lot to remove!
The seed plant books were interesting, a company already do a greeting card that has seeds in it, you can plant it and flowers grow. A lovely idea to remember the sender.
I remember years ago a chap who had an App for ordering takeaways from different establishments. He was sent away, I wonder if he’s Deliveroo.

Yes i Iike Dragons Den too I particularly like Taj Lavani and Sara Davies she seems very kind but astute
I feel for those whose pitch goes down the pan but some come very unprepared for the financial questions
The two guys who did the ‘pay your bills’ app have been very successful as well as Trunkie and Levi Roots what others have become household names ?

I love Dragon's Den and always wish I knew how all the various businesses got on. I know some Dragons don't end up involved after finding out more about the various lucky pitchers. There's a vaguely unsatisfactory show that's supposed to do this but somehow it never seems to cover what I hope for.

I love Dragon’s Den….there have been a few successes Reggae Reggae Sauce (I have used it) , Trunkee (my grandson has one ) and a few others too. Yes, I too liked the plastic free chewing gum …

Another thread made me think it would be interesting to see what pitches other people like. I haven’t been over impressed with the last series. Did like the children’s book they could plant and the plastic free chewing gum. Am always amazed that some people don’t seem to have watched previous episodes and come so under prepared or over value their business
